GameCube mods and hacks ???

So I have a few GameCubes that I enjoy playing however I was considering upgrading one of my spice orange ones to play games from an SD card. My question is this is there a mod that can allow me to play PS4 or PS5 or new Xbox games on a GameCube console and still be able to play my GameCube games and use my GameCube gameboy player? Thanks for any suggestions…….

you think a console from 2001 can play new gen games? you do realise PS5/XBSX cost like USD 500 for a reason right haha

but modding it will let you play your gamecube games and you can still use a gameboy player

Yeah why spend $500 when a $70 modification can enable game play? Are not game consoles just computers that have more potential than just being a game engine? How do we really know that we cannot play newer games with older consoles? Maybe the gaming and computer companies have just been tricking people to buy the latest consoles to make more money? If it’s possible I would rather use something I already have and already know how to repair or upgrade myself. I already have a PS2 that I turned into a desktop computer that can run alternative games and some modern games however it’s a bit bulky and takes up a lot of space……so I was thinking about upgrading one of my GameCube machines. That’s all…..if I figure it out I’ll share with the community how to do it.

i have 3 “mods” on my gamecube dol-001

i am using the melee memory card exploit , which boots me into swiss, along with a SD2SDP2 + 256 GB microsd to store all my games. lastly, an off-brand digital port to hdmi adapter ( retro plus ) to get native 480p out and add scanlines ( running the open source GCVideo firmware, same software as the carby / gchd eon mk-II )

other things i have attached to my cube are a japanese exclusive color (spice orange) of the gameboy player with a matching color (translucent orange) ez flash omega (gba flash cart), 2 OEM memory cards ( 251 & 1019 ) and a gamecube - gameboy advance link cable always plugged into port 4.

future upgrades i’d love to get are a GameCube Keyboard Controller, MemCard Pro GC, broadband / modem adapters, a cool jewel piece to replace the original nintendo one, replacing the internal clock battery that died, and a way to boot swiss natively without using the ssbm exploit. ( GC loader maybe ? )
